USB flash drives are a must these days. Now that floppy drives have gone out the backdoor, a flash drive is required to transfer any kind of data between PCs. This is of course unless you do it via the web. Although security is always an issue.
Unfortunatley one of the flaws with the USB drives with Windows, is that when you pull them from the machine, the system highly recommends using the eject function in Windows. They say if you don’t your system can become unstable, which I’ve seen first hand. Windows provides a handy eject utlity in the system tray that is supposed to ’safely’ eject the drive from the machine before pulling it out. A lot of times though, you’ll get a warning that the drive is in use and it can’t be safely ejected. Which brings me to today’s post.
EjectUSB is a replacement solution to the built-in function, that will quickly close all running applications on the drive, and allow for safe removal from your PC. It closes all files, removes created shortcuts and cleans up registry entries. It’s nice handy utility that you should have on all of your Windows machines.

Simply works. Small utility, yet useful. Thanks. I think this one is way better than the built-in function of Windows.

Maybe Microsoft will take a few lessons and incorporate this into their next OS… when is it coming out again? Next week? Oh no 2010 right??
